Opera & Dance
Covent Garden is all about performance
Royal opera house
Rigoletto
13 September 21 –12 March 22
This production sees Verdi’s masterpiece as a modern morality play that pits power against innocence, beauty against ugliness, in a pitiless world of luxurious decadence, corruption and social decay.
Jenůfa
28 September– 12 October 21
Janáček movingly captures Jenůfa’s progression from hope to despair to eventual radiant happiness, while her stepmother, the Kostelnička, is one of opera’s most complex maternal figures. The two courageous women struggle for fulfilment against the backdrop of a claustrophobic rural community.
Romeo and Juliet
5 October 21–25 February 22
Kenneth MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet has become a great modern ballet classic of the world repertory. The nuanced and detailed choreography gives dancers in the lead roles a wealth of opportunity for differing interpretations of the doomed lovers.
London Coliseum
Satyagraha
14 - 28 October 21
Philip Glass’s meditation on Gandhi’s early years in South Africa traces the progress of his concept of non-violent protest as a positive force for change.
HMS Pinafore
29 October - 11 December 21
Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic opera HMS Pinafore is a hilarious tale of love, honour and duty.
The Valkyrie
19 November - 10 December 21
Richard Jones returns to ENO to direct this gripping new production of Wagner’s The Valkyrie, following his Olivier Award-winning staging of The Mastersingers of Nuremberg.
